The night I met Hello Kitty

After a nail-biter of a ballgame, where my boy got hit (hard) by a pitch right in the bicep, causing me to leap over three rows of bleachers to glue  myself to the fence near first base while the coach made sure he was okay (I'm sure he was mortified...), they lost.  They came back from a 9-2 deficit to end it 12-11.  I was so proud, and I swear.  It's more agonizing to watch the game as a parent...especially when the umps are ridiculously biased.  Tonight, one of them told our coach that he was on a "thin leash."  What in the world is a thin leash?  I thought it was thin ice or a short leash.  Apparently, the ump had some issues mixing his cliches.  Our coach is a really amazing coach, and he can provide some pretty amazing commentary on the sidelines, but the umps were not even remotely fair tonight.  I hope we don't end up with them next week.

Anyway, after the game, it was girls night!  My friend Angela and I went to meet our friend Chanthala at The Ginger Man to see a band play.  They rocked some Journey, Bon Jovi, Night Ranger, and Ozzy Osborne.  Seriously?  It was so fun!    I randomly looked over, and saw a man wearing pink, which isn't really that weird...except he was in a Hello Kitty costume.  I had to investigate.  So, I went over and asked to take a picture of him.  He agreed, but only if I was in it with him.  The guy who took our picture couldn't seem to make it work, so this is all I ended up with...

He's getting married, so this was part of his bachelor party.  That list is a checklist of items he had to complete before the party was over.  I assisted with the lipstick necklace, only it was not as dark as they were wanting because I didn't actually have any lipgloss.  There were some awesome action shots though, so as soon as I get copies, they'll be posted too.  It was quite hilarious!

We were starving though, and since they were a beer only pub, our options were limited.  So, off we went to Addison for some drinks and fun!  Angela and I got there first and we decided to visit our old hangout: Sherlocks!  Then the rain came...and by the time we were ready to leave, it hadn't let up.  Let's just say, I totally have to throw away my shoes and I was soaked all the way to my knees.  It wasn't my most flattering moment.  Still, it was a great time.  I can't wait for N's game next week!  Here's hoping this week is better than last week!
